Coaching is an investment in excellence, innovation, productivity and profitability. Successful leaders are finding out what gold-medal athletes have always known

Olympians Don’t Hire Coaches Because They’re Weak!

Quite the contrary. Olympians hire coaches because that’s the best way to fine tune, analyze, and strategize to stay at the top of their games. Good coaching results in maximum performance. Likewise, Leadership and Executive Coaching Gets YOU to The Gold Faster, Better And Easier.

Being successful requires clear and effective action. But action is not enough: Coaching evolves your vision and increases your capacity to realize that vision while it also keeps your focus on maintaining day-to-day excellence. Good coaching supports you in realizing your vision while at the same time it helps your vision continue unfolding. Just like good coaching moves an athlete from bronze to gold, leadership coaching gets you to – and keeps you at – the top.

It’s a common myth that a coach should come from a background similar to your own. One of the most important things you get from your investment in leadership and executive coaching is perspective. There’s no evidence that it pays better to get that perspective from someone who’s developed theirs in the same type box that you’ve developed yours in.

It’s best to invest in someone who brings a lens you can’t get from colleagues, a spouse or status quo advisors on your field. For example, even though I’ve never made my way up the corporate ladder or owned a business with lots of employees, my clients report that they receive added value from my unique depth and breadth of experience – which ranges from the jungle to the boardroom; from the United Nations to college campuses; from the African bush to the corner office; and from working with top-level multi-national corporate executives and non-governmental organizational leaders to entrepreneurs and professionals.

When you’re ready to hire, ask yourself which of the coaches you’re choosing from will best help you:

Break through old barriers

Create inspired action for you and your team

Strengthen your foundation while it expands your horizons

Promote blue-sky thinking that produces efficient and effective on the ground results

Manage the fact that it truly can be lonely at the top

Harness unrealized potential

Unleash your strengths

Achieve peak performance

Spark dynamic creativity and improve vitality

Increase your professional satisfaction as well as work/life balance

Move from being good to being great

Account for your blindspots

Create new and sustained levels of excellence

Support triple bottom line success in terms of peole, profits and the planet

Get the most from your team by cutting down turnover and increasing productivity

Dramatically improve your “wisdom factor” so that you make your most profitable and impactful decisions

Build your best legacy

Hiring wise and skilled counsel will get you a powerful and relentless advocate for your ultimate achievement. It’s the best way to master your professional life because good coaching methodologies drill down to the values, beliefs, assumptions and behaviors that drive and transform organizations. Professional counsel solves core issues with sustainable solutions by working with your concerns, obstacles, passions, and vision in ways you simply can’t with colleagues, friends or even your spouse.

The best part is that when everyone is calling you, you can call on counsel!
